Assessment · practicals · supervised OJL

Learn it. Practice it. Prove it. Apply it under the right authority.

TTS is designing progression around observable evidence rather than time on a webpage. Knowledge, practical performance, field records, safety, and professional judgment must agree before a competency is recognized.

Current status: assessment, grading, student records, certificates, and OJL accounts remain disabled while banks, rubrics, security controls, privacy rules, and program approvals are validated.
Four evidence layers

Every layer answers a different question.

LayerQuestionEvidenceWhat it does not prove
KnowledgeCan the learner explain the system and make the calculation?Reviewed, randomized checks; source-based decisions; calculations with units and assumptions.Physical task performance or field authority.
PracticeCan the learner follow the process in a controlled setting?Simulations, schematics, fault stories, isolated trainers, worksheets, and instructor feedback.Permission for unsupervised or regulated work.
PracticalCan the learner perform and verify the task?Observed rubric, equipment state, measurements, acceptance criteria, documentation, and restoration.Licensure, employer qualification, or OJL hours.
OJLCan the learner repeat the work across real conditions with increasing independence?Authorized supervisor sign-off, hours, task variety, quality, safety, rework, and field evidence.Automatic apprenticeship completion or independent authority.
Advancement rules

A pass must be defensible.

Secure knowledge checks

The server determines the result

When activated after validation, reviewed forms and answer keys remain private. The platform issues the form, validates completeness, scores it, applies critical-item rules, limits attempts, and records an auditable result.

Observed practicals

Performance uses a real rubric

The assessor records equipment state, prompts, measurements, acceptance results, restoration, and any critical failure. A quiz cannot substitute for a physical skill.

Milestone review

Evidence must agree

Written results, calculations, practical work, OJL distribution, mentor evaluations, quality, remediation, and remaining supervision needs are reviewed together.

Critical safety rules override the numerical score

Unauthorized work, defeated safeties, unsuitable instruments or PPE, hazardous equipment state, false records, or failure to verify restoration can stop an attempt and require remediation even when other answers are correct.

OJL record

Hours need context and accountable sign-off.

Who, where, and under whose authority

Verified learner and employer; date, site/project context, program, task category, supervision level, and authorized mentor identity and role.

What was actually performed

Specific task verbs and scope, equipment/system context, hazard controls, source documents, learner role, and measurements or evidence references.

Whether the work was accepted

Result, quality check, rejected or reworked items, stop-work events, restoration, and the as-left condition.

What comes next

Supervisor attestation, learner reflection, remaining supervision, remediation, and the next-period task and coaching plan.

Privacy and integrity

Public information and protected school records stay separate.

PUBLIC

Program status, high-level curriculum maps, field-team biographies, learning philosophy, selected approved figures, and launch disclosures.

PRIVATE

Full lessons, assessment forms, answer keys, editable drawings, student identities, grades, OJL evidence, signatures, payments, staff tools, and security configuration.

CONTROL

Least-privilege access, MFA for staff, server-owned scoring, audit records, backups, monitoring, incident response, and tested recovery are required before activation.

No absolute-security claim

No website can be guaranteed impossible to compromise. TTS will describe the safeguards it actually operates, keep sensitive features disabled until they are tested, and never claim ISO certification or guaranteed protection without the required evidence and independent process.
